My oldest daughter Anne entered a video contest for American Girl. She is a finalist--which is so very exciting for our whole family. Out of over 500 videos, her video called "Sewing for Others" is one of the 6 finalists! What you need to know about Anne is that she is the sweetest, most giving, and generous 11 year olds I have ever met.
I wondered if my sewing friends would support my junior sewer by voting for her video to win the grand prize. Here is the link to the videos--her's is AnneV titled 'Sewing for Others'. Thanks in advance!!

Project Hope 2012 is winding down. These are the last few days to make some 'Fun in the Middle' blocks and send them in. Here are the details on this fun and easy block! Deadline is November 15th (but really if you are a few days later than that it's fine.)

I have received some great blocks so far and I am looking forward to putting them all together!
Just for peace of mind I have received packages from the following people (keep in mind that mail to my address can take up to 3 weeks to get to me--and Hurricane Sandy DID NOT speed things up in this department):

Gloria, Betty, Maureen, Lynn, Sandra, Norece, Cinda, a package from Galena, KS, and from Katy, TX.
Big thank you to these ladies! Would be nice to have a few more for variety sake but we always take what the Lord provides through our volunteers!!

This is a blog which documents the activities of Margaret's Hope Chest-a quilting non-profit organization birthed out of the tragic murder of 81-year old Margaret Herrema. Our website MargaretsHopeChest.com is a great place for more information about what we do.

GET INVOLVED IN 'WRAPPED IN HOPE'!
